a) Statement (i) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (ii) alone is not sufficient.
b) Statement (ii) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (i) alone is not sufficient.
c) BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
d) EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
e) Statement (i) and (ii) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient to answer the question asked, and additional
data are needed.

In 2003, a then-nascent Internet search engine developed an indexing algorithm
called G-Cache that retrieved and stored X million webpages per hour. At the same time, a
competitor developed an indexing algorithm called HTML-Compress that indexed and stored
Y million pages per hour. If both algorithms indexed a positive number of pages per hour,
was the number of pages indexed per hour by G-Cache greater than three times the number of
pages indexed by HTML-Compress?
(i) On a per-hour basis in 2003, G-Cache indexed 1 million more pages than HTMLCompress indexed
(ii) HTML-Compress can index between 400,000 and 1.4 million pages per hour
(11)
If angle ABC is 30 degrees, what is the area of triangle BCE?
(i) Angle CDF is 120 degrees, lines L and M are parallel, and AC = 6, BC = 12, and EC =
2AC
(ii) Angle DCG is 60 degrees, angle CDG is 30 degrees, angle FDG = 90, and GC = 6, CD =
12 and EC = 12
(12)
If both x and y are positive integers less than 100 and greater than 10, is the sum x + y
a multiple of 11?
(i) x - y is a multiple of 22
(ii) The tens digit and the units digit of x are the same; the tens digit and the units digit of y are
the same
(13)
If b is prime and the symbol # represents one of the following operations: addition,
subtraction, multiplication, or division, is the value of b # 2 even or odd?
(i) (b # 1) # 2 = 5
(ii) 4 # b = 3 # (1 # b) and b is even
(14)
If x and y are both integers, which is larger, xx or yy?
(i) x = y + 1
(ii) xy > x and x is positive.

After a long career, John C. Walden is retiring. If there are 25 associates who
contribute equally to a parting gift for John in an amount that is an integer, what is the total
value of the parting gift?

John is trying to get from point A to point C, which is 15 miles away directly to the
northeast; however the direct road from A to C is blocked and John must take a detour. John
must travel due north to point B and then drive due east to point C. How many more miles
